As first reported in The Hollywood Reporter, actor Sean PatRick Thomas has joined the cast of the upcoming CW drama pilot THE SELECTION. The actor joins previously announced cast members Ethan Peck, grandson of actor Gregory Peck, and Aimee Teegarden.

The actor has appeared in film in 'Save the Last Dance'. His TV credits include the long-running drama series 'Friday Night Lights as well as The CW's Ringer, Lifetime's 'Army Wives' and the CBS drama, 'The District'.

THE SELECTION tells the tale of "an epic romance set 300 years in the future in which a poor young woman is chosen by lottery to participate in a competition to become the next queen of a war-torn nation at a crossroads." Thomas will portray Sylvan Santos, described as "a close adviser to the current queen and an expert in royal etiquette who advises the participants in the competition."

在Thomas之前，來自《勝利之光》的艾米·緹加登(Aimee Teegarden)和《對(duì)面的惡女看過來》的伊森·派克(Ethan Peck)已經(jīng)加盟了這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。他們分別飾演女主角，也就是“命定女王”；后者則扮演一個(gè)被無數(shù)女孩夢(mèng)想嫁給自己的Maxon王子。?
